Suspending Participants

If someone disrupts your meeting, you can immediately suspend all participant activities and lock your meeting so no one else can join. If you can identify the disrupter, you can eject that participant from the meeting and the Zoom security team will be notified. Instructions on how to suspend a participant and notify the Zoom Trust and Safety team.
